Your Friendly Neighborhood Shambolic Bitch
@themileagehoney
Tote bag aficionado. pop/culture - mostly movies, some other things - it’s ok if you haven’t read anything from me, but if you'd like to you can start at my Letterboxd link below
I'm begging, as we hurtle towards the apocalypse, can someone help me find the May Parker glasses frame? I have been needing them for 8 years and now that we're doing the re-watch, I need them even more. (*Whispers* even if they only look good on Marisa Tomei)
The amount of envy I have for her thick, wavy styled perfect-shade-of-New-Wave-Green shag...I would absolutely give up both pinkie fingers if the trade was for this hair. Apologies to anyone with colorblindness seeing this post. But the green is very important
Oh wait!!! Obviously these 2 together as well, the couple that shaped a generation it turns out! I do prefer their looks in The Mummy Returns. Rachel gets to wear some heavy eyeliner Brendan seems even more roguish
I always immediately go to these 2 - specifically in these roles / moments but certainly there are many, many more:
Today I was made aware that Rami Malek has a twin brother who looks like he should be named Chet Malone
And this is the cast currently listed...i feel like I'm having an aneurysm
We have watched Spider-Man 3 again and this is still one of the most diabolical moments in it and it makes me laugh every time
This is what happens when you're literally anointed as an infant & the torch is ready to be passed. Argentina's last 3 games were won seemingly on magic (and assistive calls) but the magic runs out eventually. Congrats to Spain on winning the World Cup that ran out of juice 2 weeks ago
The night before we see the Odyssey I did want to revisit The Iliad so...here we are
I just don't want us pretending like the classics haven't already been told:
There was a moment in time where Willem Dafoe and Daryl Hall were indistinguishable. What a time it was
When your country's in governmental shambles, and you don't have Universal Healthcare or Basic Income and billionaires own your future and are going to build data centers on the cemeteries of your ancestors and yet, it's Hot Dog and Macaroni salad day!
They interviewed Owen Wilson on Telemundo and he quoted Tim McGraw and - you know it was just a lil' piece of World Cup magic
Wim Wenders and Robby Muller, you sonsofbitches
Had John Boorman directed a sequel I’ve no doubt that’s the vision - it’s 1985, Arthur’s reincarnated with no idea who he is until he & his biker gang get waylaid in the English countryside & a journey to fix their bikes leads to the sword’s discovery - Merlin’s a bartender - these are their helmets
Also, I think we've passed the window for Pedro Pascal to play Rick Danko - but damn, Hollywood leaving money on the table - still time for Amanda Seyfried to play Joni Mitchell though
Tonight's Viewing: 1978's The Last Waltz - a true masterpiece. Scorsese loves The Band and they, in turn love the music. I'm the most boring of all people and cry when Mavis Staples takes on her verse in The Weight and delight in an inebriated Van Morrison doing Molly Shannon kicks offstage
Tonight we watched a movie that Imve begun to love more and more with each passing year. When I was younger, it didn't seem to enthrall me as much, the older I get, the more I have come to believe it contains a decent amount of the whole human experience. Pop-Pop Spielberg did not miss with this one
Watched Sorcerer for the 1st time - I understand now that I've underestimated Friedkin - he's a true mad man. That movie is diabolical (complimentary) - also see now how many cinema children Sorcerer spawned & why. Scheider signing on to this 2 years after Jaws?!? These men were true cinema fiends
Tonight's Viewing: Marathon Man (1976) - First viewing; only knew of the dental torture scene. Also, always thought Max von Sydow played the Laurence Olivier role - apologies to Max & Larry. Seeing Dustin Hoffman shirtless and-as the Brits would say-fit made me uncomfortable (complimentary)
Honestly, if I had ever written anything this funny, I would have probably hung it up after that
On this #MayThe4th another reason to love Carrie Fisher...she spent 6 months doctoring the script for The Wedding Singer ...a true princess and truly missed, just the best
Me showing up to the Pizza Hut to claim my free Book It Program Personal Pan
Sometimes the most comforting thing about the "What are we watching (while the world burns)?" films that @popnpizza.bsky.social has programmed is that there's always someone having a worse day than me. For example, tonight's entry was The Conversation, and brother, Harry Caul had a coupla ROUGH days
Watched Serpico (a banger & so far, my fave Pacino performance) but someone please tell me what the hat budget was on this film?!Serpico shows up dresssed as a rabbi & a- uhm *procurer* - in back to back scenes & i wondered if Fletch was riffing on this. Also fantastic garden apartment & sheep dog
We watched Executive Action (1973) and it's fascinating especially in the context that it's only 10 years after the JFK assassination. Lays the cobblestones for the road that Stone will pave about 2 decades later. It *somehow* ends on an even crazier note than JFK and features this screenshot
Tonight's viewing was The Godfather. I mean, there's nothing to say that hasn't been said before but for me, Sonny beating up a top-toer villain in Carlo is cathartic. Once the garbage can lid gets involved I reach viewer nirvana.
Anybody know what happened to this guy?
